Visiting our food bank

Cramlington Foodbank is a truly welcoming place. Everyone you’ll meet is lovely and here because they want to help.

We know crisis can affect anyone, and we understand how hard it can be to walk through a food bank door. That’s why our volunteers welcome everyone with compassion, kindness, and a listening ear.

Nobody wants to use a food bank, and the first visit can feel daunting or even scary. That’s why it’s so important that collecting a food parcel is a positive experience, one that encourages people to seek further support and move forward.
